Donnie and Fiona's hospitality is second to none in a beautiful country house that takes you back to the way it must have been for the countrified gentry of the land. They make you feel as though you are one of the family as Donnie makes you feel home and Fiona checks what you would like for dinner that evening... more

The food is also outstanding and cooked by the owner Fiona, we hand a 4 course menu in the conservatory by candle light served by donnie, which was a set menu of home... more

a small manor in a superb setting. Donnie takes care of his hosts almost as well he does with his “band of sheep”, what is something! Fiona,“la fee du logis”, cooks divinely. large very quiet rooms, full of charm. we warmly recommend this place, don’t miss it! ( 19 / 20 / 21 / 22 of May 2008 ) doctor... more

What a wonderful start to our 8 day visit to the highlands. We stayed at the Ballochneck for our fist two nights. We were greeted by the owner Donnie a man with a huge personality and had hospitality down to a fine art. Donnie and his wife Fiona are great hosts and make you almost feel like one of the... more

Our first nights in Scotland were spent at Ballochneck, and it really spoiled us! Naturally we would compare the rest of our stay to those first nights and nothing came close in comparison! The hosts, Fiona and Donnie, were delightful, personable, hospitable, and ready to do whatever it took to please their guests. Two of our group had stayed there... more

Stayed here for wedding night; Sir William Room utterly perfect. Complete peace, massive room, collosal bed (not the usual large sleigh bed but probably 8ft by 10ft!) and gorgeous breakfast of scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, oatcakes etc etc. When you need to know your special night away is not going to dissapoint, this is the place. more

My girlfriend and i wanted to celebrate our 1st year anniversary but also the summer sun. We where spoilt at Ballochneck with a beautiful estate, 4 days of 25-29 degrees, all the privacy we needed yet all the local information for us to throughly enjoy the wonderful Trussoch countryside. Fiona and Donnie provided an incredible setting and the evening meal... more

We have stayed at Ballochneck twice now, but plan on visiting on many more occasions. Ballochneck is a huge, beautiful house on its own estate, about 25 mins drive from Glasgow and 10mins to Loch Lomond. It has two absolutely stunning (and enormous) bedrooms, each with separate bathroom with roll-top baths and beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. The lounge... more

Superb. Given the choice between two weeks in St Lucia and one night at Ballochneck, I would choose Ballochneck every time. You could not hope for a more friendly welcome - roaring fires in every room and a glass of whisky from Donnie (never without a rip-roaring yarn of derring-do) - soon makes you feel like one of the family.... more

We have just come back from a weekend at Ballochneck. Its a superb country house with gorgeous views over the surrounding hills. The house is set on its own estate, its imposing and yet has a lovely warm atmosphere. The roaring log fires were very inviting on the stormy night we arrived! We settled down in the drawing room with... more
